Darklady looks back at the events that unfolded last October when Derrick Burts, known as Patient Zeta, tested positive for HIV, sparking controversy in both mainstream and adult communities over performer safety in porn productions and whether condoms should be made mandatory.

Many questioned the safety procedures that are taken on porn sets.

AIM said at the time that it complied with all state health codes and was bound by law to keep a patient’s information confidential.
